Judge Mills handed in this afternoon
a decision of the utmost Importance to
members of the board of trade, bankers
and all those having any dealings with
members. There is a bylaw of the
board that gives to members of the
board who may also be creditors of de-
linQuent member, who may also be in
solvent and whose seat has been sold
for non-payment of dues, priority of
claim to the proceeds of the sale of the
seat, after the assessments have been
paid, over all other creditors of such
delinquent and insolvent member. The
certificates of membership, or seats, as
they are called, have in two instances
been hypothecated with certain Du-
luth bank by members who SubSe
Quently became inSOlYent and deliquent.
The sheriff of st. Louis county in each
case held executions against the delin-
Quents, and when seats were sold by
the board, in the manner described, Re
stepped in and attempted to attach the
balance of the proceeds. This was re-
sisted by the officers and the case of the
county VS.. the Duluth board of trade
was brought to test the validity of the
bylaw. Judge Mills decision holds
that the bylaw is valid, and that men,
berS are entitled to the priority accorded
them by the bylaw.
